This property presents a unique opportunity for those interested in renovation and investment. Set on a generous one-acre plot with planning consent for a significant dwelling, it offers the potential to create a custom home that capitalizes on its picturesque lake frontage and scenic views.
Located in the emerging village of Barway, just south of Ely, this plot is part of a newly developed area featuring high-value properties. The planning permission granted under East Cambs reference number 16/00702/FUL allows for considerable expansion beyond the existing modest structure, which currently includes four bedrooms—two equipped with en-suite facilities—a kitchen breakfast room, utility space, dining room, study, and a living room with bifold doors that open to gardens overlooking the lake.
The land itself is divided into two sections: half designated for building under current planning permissions and the other half featuring mixed woodland with direct access onto Barway Road. Additionally, there is an option to separately negotiate for five extra acres that encompass a well-stocked leisure lake complete with islands and banks.
While some conditions must be addressed to comply with planning regulations—such as contamination assessment and biodiversity considerations—the groundwork has already been laid as certain requirements have been met. Utility connections for water, electricity, and sewage are available nearby on Barway Road.
The property's location enhances its appeal further; Ely city center is approximately five miles away and boasts established rail links to major cities including Norwich, Cambridge, Peterborough, Birmingham, and London. With Cambridge only about 15 minutes by train and London Kings Cross within an hour and fifteen minutes reach, this area is not only tranquil but also conveniently connected.
For investors or developers looking to make their mark in a growing community with significant potential returns, this plot represents a practical canvas ready for transformation.
